Do women ever look better after 40?

My answer is that women can and often do get hotter as they age.

Just yesterday we had some afternoon delight that was nothing short of mind blowing for us both. I have never in my life been as attracted to someone as I am to her, and I have definitely had some great relationships.

We are both in good, but not near perfect, shape, healthy, and average looking, but happy and self confident. She has survived cancer and had a double mastectomy. So why do I find her hot?

She is enthusiastic and open in the bedroom, often initiates, and is incredibly smart (I want to hear what she has to say about any subject). She has a very positive attitude about life and that alone is very attractive.

So yes, women in their 40's and beyond are still hot.

Very nice

Not a person-man or woman-looks better in their 40s than they did in their 20s or 30s. That's just common sense. That doesn't mean a woman can't look absolutely beautiful, hot and sexy in her 40s. But, better than decades before? Get real. Same for men. People in their 50s really turn a corner then hope to hold onto whatever looks they have along with their health into their 60s

Jennifer Aniston is another example of someone who looked fantastic and young at 45. When she turned 50, she looked older but still good. Now at 54, she looks 54. If a celebrity like Jennifer Aniston who has all the money in the world and has not ever given birth still looks 54 at age 54, what hope do us mortals have?

My ex wife looked better from 40-45 than she did from 25-30. She ate better so she lost weight. She exercised more. Her haircut and clothes were better.

Unfortunately, she became very dismissive in our conversations and, at about the same time, lost almost all of her sex drive. She wasn't attractive to me anymore and I wasn't attractive to her. I looked better in my 20s than my 40s but I think that was a symptom of our marital problems, not a cause id them. I was extremely attracted to the overweight and less glamorous version of my wife when we were in our 20s.

After we divorced in our 50s, we both took better care of ourselves and looked pretty good. I never looked better and she looked very fit, although her skin looked dry, which seems typical of white women over 50.

In my opinion, the big decline in superficial appearance comes soon after age 50 for most women, but how you get along is what matters the most, and I've been happy to learn that even women who look every year of their age in their 50s and 60s can still be very sexual.

Yeah women have become allergic to the sun and addicted to the wine instead with similar results for their skin

My wife is a 42 year old stunner. When I see pictures of her in her 20's she looks great and I suppose objectively her best (because biology?), but for some unknown reason I think she looks way sexier now. Maybe because looking good in your 40's is not as common as looking good in your 20's so she stands out? Or, maybe because I am older, and when I see a twenty something pic of her she just looks way too young? IDK

A lot of women would look much better in their 40s 50s and even 60s but women just consume way too much alcohol now almost as much as men. And alcohol ages you very fast.

No…no they don’t. They may dress better sometimes but no they do not.

I’ve dated women in their 20s (I’m in my 40s) and women in their 20s look much better. If they’re someone who consistently works out and keeps their habits they can look “good” in their 40s. I’ve dated a couple of women in their 40’s who were fit and good looking. But nothing - and I mean nothing - a 40+ year old woman will ever compete with a 27-33 year old who hits the squat rack, hip thrusts and deadlifts like a savage beast. Plus dating them keeps me on my game and hitting the gym hard so it works twofold.

Sorry it is what it is, be mad but it won’t change anything

Nothing wrong with self confidence. However what we may believe about ourselves or others claim to think about us doesn't always match reality. Look yourself in the mirror when you are alone and nobody around you is looking. The mirror won't lie to you. But if your self esteem is so damaged that you have an obsession to want to still look like your 20s/early 30s in your 40s/50s that's a different issue....

My wife doesn’t look as hot as she did 20 years ago but it’s all relative. Overall, I think she is hotter because she’s gotten smarter, more confident, more independent and she’s an extraordinary multitasker. For her age she is beautiful and her bedroom skills are far superior to those from 20 years ago.

Peak attractiveness is 19 to 20. Close to peak until 25 and slopes down gently after that.

It goes both ways. Single, attractive, wealthy forty-something women are also going to pick a younger man than you. We all gravitate toward what we think we deserve.
